She was manipulated by Parvati to readily accept fourth place and then vote her to win. She was so sold on "Grrl Power" and an all-female alliance, that she didn't care she was burned by Parvati, she was just happy to be there. From other post-boot accounts she was enthralled by Parvati's name-dropping and seemed to want to get "in" with that lifestyle rather than win the game. Master manipulator my ass - nothing more than a desperate fame whore not even trying to win the game.
No she didn't at all. If Amanda doesn't have the idol she leaves (whether or not Erik has immunity because the fans were going to vote together there.) Cirie leaves next round, and there would be a girl power final 3 because of her mutual relationship with Parv. With the final 2 twist, Parv doesn't throw the last challenge, but no matter who wins it, she's in the finals as shown by Parv wanting Alexis out over Natalie. She played an awesome game (I don't know if it was better than Parv/Cirie because of what DID happen at the final 6 which makes the editors have to give them credit for everything), but she rode no ones coattails and clearly knew what she was doing.
